Definitions
- the embodiments of the invention relate to the electroacoustic components, in particular to a sound generator used in a portable device.
- Sound generators also called sound generators
- portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, etc.
- people have higher and higher requirements for the performance of the sound generators.
- the quality requirements for the sound generators in the mobile phones are becoming higher and higher.
- the sound generator is a playing device of the voice function and therefore its internal magnetic circuit system directly influences the improvement of the acoustic performance of the product.
- the sound generator of the relevant technology comprises a frame, a vibration system fixed on the frame, a magnetic circuit system driving the vibration system to vibrate and a front cover fixed on the frame.
- the frame extends towards the front cover to form melting point posts, and the front cover is provided with through positioning holes which cooperate with the melting point posts. The melting point posts pass through the positioning holes and then hot pressed to fix the front cover and the frame.
- the front cover takes the melting point surface where the melting point posts are hot pressed as a plane but doesn't use melting points for glue filling, which limits the stability of the front cover and even influences the acoustic performance of the speaker.
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a sound generator in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 an isometric and partially exploded view of the sound generator in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the sound generator, taken along line A-A in FIG. 1 .
- a sound generator 100 which comprises a frame 1 , a vibration system 2 , a magnetic circuit system 3 , melting point posts 4 and a front cover 5 .
- a rectangular frame 1 is taken as the example for description.
- the frame 1 can be circular or in any other shape without limitation.
- the vibration system 2 and the magnetic circuit system 3 are respectively fixed on the frame 1 , and the magnetic circuit system 3 is used for driving the vibration system 2 to vibrate to speak.
- the frame 1 , the vibration system 2 and the magnetic circuit system 3 are jointly enclosed for forming a rear chamber (unlabeled) for improving the low-frequency acoustic performance of the sound generator 100 .
- the melting point posts 4 are such formed that the frame 1 extends towards the front cover 5 so as to fix the front cover 5 on the frame 1 .
- the sound generator comprises four melting point posts 4 which are mutually separated but the number is not only limited to four.
- the four melting point posts 4 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the frame 1 .
- the front cover 5 covers the frame 1 .
- the front cover 5 and the vibration system 2 cooperatively form a front chamber 10 for radiating sound.
- the front cover 5 comprises a body part 51 , a plurality of positioning holes 52 , a sound outlet 53 , a glue slot 54 and a melting point groove 55 .
- the body part 51 covers the frame 1 .
- the positioning holes 52 pass through the body part 51 and cooperate with the melting point posts 4 .
- the number of the positioning holes 52 is same as that of the melting point posts 4 .
- Each melting point post 4 is inserted into and passes through one corresponding positioning hole 52 .
- the end of each melting point post 4 is capable of being deformed by hot pressing process to form a clasp structure so as to fix the front cover 5 on the frame 1 .
- the sound outlet 53 passes through the body part 51 and communicates with the front chamber 10 for radiating sound.
- the side of the body part 51 away from the frame 1 forms the glue slot 54 by recessing inwardly.
- the glue slot 54 is annular and around the positioning holes 52 and communicates with the positioning holes 52 .
- the glue slot 54 is used for filling glue (not shown in the figure).
- the inner side surface of the glue slot 54 is in an arc surface structure or a bevel structure or a step structure. The structure is helpful for containing the glue as well as for the glue to flow.
- the glue After being filled into the glue slot 54 , the glue flows into the gap (not numbered) between the melting point posts 4 and the positioning holes 52 for filling and eliminating the gap along a short axis or long axis of the frame 1 , by which the swing of the front cover 5 produced in the related art is reduced and even avoided. Therefore, the front cover 5 is fixed more stably.
- the glue can flow to the position between the frame 1 and the front cover 5 , such as between the contact surfaces of the frame 1 and the front cover 5 , which adds a glue fixing structure for the frame 1 and the front cover 5 , so as to increase the fixing strength and stability between the front cover 5 and the frame 1 with the melting points as well as the tensile property of the front cover 5 , and therefore the acoustic stability of the sound generator 100 is further optimized.
- the side of the body part 51 away from the frame 1 hollows towards the frame 1 to form the melting point groove 55 . More preferably, in the embodiment, the positioning holes 52 pass through the melting point groove 55 .
- the melting point groove 55 can accommodate the melting point posts 4 . After being hot pressed to be a locking structure, the melting point posts 4 are accommodated in the melting point groove 55 , which both makes the entire sound generator 100 be nice-looking and doesn't need to increase the overall height of the sound generator 100 so as to be helpful for the miniaturization of the product.
- the sound generator 100 also comprises a steel sheet 6 and an air absorbing layer 7 , wherein, the steel sheet 6 is fixed on the front cover 5 and fully covers the sound outlet 53 , and the air absorbing layer 7 is adhered to and fixed on the steel sheet 6 .
- the steel sheet 6 is provided with voice outlet 61 which passes through the steel sheet 6 and communicates with the front chamber 10 .
- the air absorbing layer 7 fully covers the voice outlets 61 .
- the Young's modulus of the steel sheet 6 is higher than that of the front cover 5 and therefore the high-frequency acoustic performance of the front chamber 10 can be improved.
- the air absorbing layer 7 can effectively avoid high-frequency distortion so as to make the acoustic performance of the sound generator 100 be better.
- the air absorbing layer 7 in the embodiment is a structure made of a soft material, where air can flow. More preferably, the air absorbing layer 7 is adhered to and fixed on the side of the steel sheet 6 away from the vibration system 2 .
- the configuration doesn't occupy the space of the front chamber 10 , which makes the vibration system have enough vibration space.
- the sound generator of the present disclosure is characterized in that the front cover hollows to form the glue slot which is around and communicated with the positioning holes. After being filled into the glue slot, the glue flows into the gap between the melting point posts and the positioning holes for filling. Therefore the horizontal sway of the front cover is reduced and even avoided, and then the front cover is fixed stably. At the same time, with the gap, the glue can flow to the position between the frame and the front cover, which increases the fixing strength and stability between the front cover and the frame with the melting points as well as the tensile property of the front cover, and therefore the acoustic stability of the sound generator is further optimized.
